Solar Carport Market By Design Type (T-Shape, V-Shape, L-Shape, Y-Shape), By Vehicle Arrangement (One-Row, Double-Row), By Application (Commercial, Residential, Industrial): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2023-2032
The global solar carport market was valued at $0.8 Billion in 2022, and is projected to reach $1.7 Billion by 2032, registering a CAGR of 8.1% from 2023 to 2032.
A solar carport is a type of parking facility that uses solar panels to generate electricity and shelter cars. The solar panels are fixed to the top of the carport's roof, where they collect sunlight and convert it into energy. The solar carport market is expanding due to the growing need for environmentally friendly transportation and sustainable and renewable energy sources.
Solar carports are advantageous as they protect and shelter automobiles while also saving energy costs and promoting sustainability by producing clean energy. They provide defense against a range of weather conditions, including snow, hail, rain, and strong sunshine, all of which have the potential to harm cars over time. By offering shade, they also help keep cars' interior temperatures lower during hot weather. Solar carports are flexible and adjustable to suit a range of locations and tastes as they are available in an assortment of sizes and designs. Owing to these advantages, solar carports have become more popular in both residential and commercial settings, which drives market expansion.
Solar carports have emerged as an innovative solution in response to the growing emphasis on renewable energy sources. These structures, featuring solar panels on their roofs, serve a dual purpose: generating electricity and providing shade and shelter for parked vehicles. This dual functionality aligns with the contemporary focus on sustainability and efficiency.
Urban areas, characterized by increasing population density, have seen a surge in the adoption of solar carports. Their versatility allows them to be integrated into various urban development projects, addressing the challenge of limited space availability. Whether installed in parking lots, on rooftops, or as standalone structures, solar carports contribute to optimizing space utilization while promoting renewable energy generation.
Furthermore, the rise of electric vehicles (EVs) has augmented the appeal of solar carports. These structures incorporate EV charging stations, offering a convenient and eco-friendly solution for vehicle owners. This integration underscores the evolving landscape of transportation infrastructure toward sustainability and clean energy adoption.
Governments across the globe build solar power facilities. For instance, the Abu Dhabi National Energy Company (Taqa)-led consortium and Masdar, a government organization, announced in July 2020 that the Emirates Water and Electricity Company (EWEC) would construct a 2-GW solar photovoltaic (PV) facility at Al Dhafra, Abu Dhabi. The goal of this project was to help the UAE meet its goal of obtaining about 44% of its electricity from renewable sources by the year 2050.
The global solar carport market was severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to disturbances in the supply chain and production procedures. The dynamics of the market were impacted by fluctuating demand and economic uncertainty. Despite these obstacles, the market quickly rebounded due to the defense industry's increased investment in the purchase of solar PV for its solar carport.
The market is propelled by the numerous advances in technology that are being incorporated into solar products and components, offering substantial prospects for the industry's growth. For example, Princeton University researchers produced the first commercially feasible perovskite solar cells in June 2022. The creation of these cells requires less energy and is done at room temperature, which lowers production costs and helps solar PV manufacturing companies grow.
Solar carports are anticipated to be installed in shopping malls, schools, supermarkets, office buildings, and EV charging stations during the forecast period. Commercial solar carports also help businesses become more environmentally conscious by improving customer and employee parking and offering free advertising space. These advantages of solar carports for business use are anticipated to boost the market expansion.
The demand for renewable energy solutions is expanding as a result of greater awareness of the negative environmental effects of traditional energy sources. There is a growing trend of combining commercial solar carports with EV charging infrastructure as the use of electric vehicles (EVs) increases. This facilitates the shift to sustainable transportation by allowing businesses to offer convenient charging facilities for electric vehicle owners in addition to renewable energy for their operations. Commercial solar carports have higher initial installation costs than standard carports or parking structures. A sizable space is needed for solar carports in order to fit the parking spots and the solar panel array.
